| Summary: | Bandung has emerged from its past as a small plantation village in the Dutch
Colonial Era to become one of the major metropolitan cities in Indonesia today.
Along with other attractive factors, such as a beautiful landscape and pleasant
weather, Bandung’s growing population has attracted more people to reside in
Bandung. Increased numbers of settlers mean higher numbers of trips per day that
results in heavy use of the local road systems. The Bandung Development and
Research Agency reported that by 2017, there were 50 congestion points in almost
every part of Bandung, especially in the morning and evening peak commuting
hours. To overcome the problem, the Bandung local government built a flyover in
one of the congestion points in the eastern section of Bandung, specifically, at the
intersection of Jalan Jakarta and Jalan Kiaracondong. This study gathered
evidence by investigating the cost-effectiveness of the flyover from the perspective
of the local area residents. The quantitative approach used in this research focuses
on descriptive statistics, spatial analysis, and correlation testing. Travel time and
transport cost are two leading indicators in the research. The indicators’ gap value
from before and after construction is converted into its monetary value, which forms
the basis for calculating the impact of this infrastructure. The findings of this study
are (i) the existence of a new flyover did not generate positive effects for the locals
if measured by transport costs and travel time variables, and (ii) externalities occur
in the form of an increase in annual value from those two variables. |
